Asparagus is one of the most versatile vegetables you can cook with, and when it’s drizzled in olive oil and flame-roasted in a cast-iron grizzler pan, it's even better. Whether you serve it as a side dish, wrapped in prosciutto, or atop a mouth-watering pizza, this simple, healthy, oven-fired asparagus recipe with lemon zest and Parmesan is a worthy addition to any table.
With its slightly sweet and earthy flavour, asparagus is a common pairing for many meat dishes, but it can also be chopped into frittatas, stir-fries and hearty salads. You’ll want to source fresh, high-quality spears from your local farmers market for best-tasting results, though your local supermarket’s selection will also work. (Just be sure to look for the brightly coloured ones with tightly closed tips, and make sure the roots aren’t brown!)
We like roasting our spears in the high heat of an Ooni because it’s quick and easy, and the flames bring out the tenderness and natural sweetness of the vegetables. With the help of the cast-iron grizzler, the spears get a light char for a subtle, smokey flavour and coveted sear marks.
For even more oomph, we like to sprinkle our asparagus with a lemon’s zest and roast the cut-up wedges for a tasty, tangy bite. Add to that freshly grated Parmesan and a touch of chilli flakes for a nice kick, salt and pepper, and you’ve got a delicate balance of tastes and textures that’s sure to satisfy.
